Leuven is a great city with a lot of late Gothic architecture. You can see the entire city in a weekend. The top sights were the city hall and the Tafelrond with the Cathedral across from it.
The Begijnhof was actually one of the most beautiful places to walk to and through. So peaceful and beautiful architecture.
The Kruidtuin (botanical gardens) were a huge treat. Free entrance. Even in the winter it was fun to walk around.
M Museum is not that interesting. The collection is very small. It took about 1 hour to see everything.
Leuven is a university city but still has a lot of gastronomy. There are restaurants for every budget. I loved the La Cantina Mexican restaurant. Bar Louis was also awesome for drinks before dinner.
The stores are all closed on Sunday so take that into account when you go. I would definitely go back again sometime. You can walk everywhere.

Beautiful small city, with everything within walking distance. There is a very wide range of eating places both in terms of price and type. The train connections are excellent to other local places, Mechelen was especially attractive.

Beautifull, historic city.
Beautifull, historic city. Splendid townhall, beautifully iluminated before Xmas. Library with great arquitecture and tragic 1st and 2nd World Wars history. Countless cafeterias, restaurants, bars, Xmas market at the Groote Markt. For churches lovers - very interesting places to see.
M Leuven - art museum definately worth seeing. I had the luck to see the exhibition "Dieric Bouts. Creator of Images". Oct23-Jan24. Many events connected with this Leuven citizen and artist of the 15th century.

Leuven is a beautiful town with a lot of old and well restored buildings, plenty of eating places and very lively not the least as a result of the student population which consists of walking and cycling Belgian and International students. Although the weather was quite bad we walked around before going to dinner The area around the Begijnhof makes you feel like you go back in the time.
Another great thing about Leuven is that you can do everything on feet as everything is within walking distance.

Leuven is a wonderful university town located 20 minutes by...
Leuven is a wonderful university town located 20 minutes by train from Bruxelles, in the Flemish region. Being the city of the most prestigious Belgian University, the town is vibrant and easy-going, with a rich history and several artistic and cultural hot spots of high interest. There is a quiet and fascinating botanic garden that provides a great opportunity for escaping into the peaceful greenery. You can easily walk around, but there is an efficient system of public transport. Several good restaurants from various international cuisines and many hotels are at hand. The University Library is a must: climbing its tower, floor by floor you will go through the history of the town, especially recalling how the tragedies of the two World Wars brutally impacted it. KU Leuven, the university and one of the main institutions of the town, which plays a pivotal role in organising events and cultural activities, offers one of the best university programs taught in English in the European continent, thus the town is authentically international. Moreover, there is the plant where Stella Artois is produced, where guided tours are organised: it is worth a visit!

Leuven was absolutely amazing.
Leuven was absolutely amazing. Getting lost in the sights, sounds & views. I rate Leuven much higher pertaining things to do, spots to explore & indulge your senses. For some people Antwerp, Gent & Bruges may rank higher, but for me Leuven is the better option. It’s off the beaten track, the churches, Groot Begijnhof, the Kruidtuin, even the unforgettable & magical Hal 5 at Kessel-lo. Do yourself a favour & go to Hal 5. You won’t regret
it. Decadenza will serve up gelato that will put Venezia, and even Firenze to shame. Then there’s Danta’s coffee shop…. Oh my word! As confirmed coffee snob, I can only say Fantabulous indulgence.
Leuven is easy to navigate, buses, trains and best of all, on foot, you will be treated to priceless gems.
I would book a longer trip, then I can indulge more and get into the culture and even volunteer at the Chapelry of KU Leuven. Walking along the river Dijl, truly magical.
The hotel is located at the centre of Leuven. Central station is at 15-min walking distance away. The connection to Brussels central and the airport are really frequent. The bus stop is 15 m to the left of the hotel. THe town hall and an area with restaurants, cafés are just 5 min away.
The room and the bathroom were big and very clean. The bed was an oversized double bed and the mattress was really comfortable.
Great hotel located in the center of Leuven close to the "grote markt" square. The rooms are spacious and clean. The bathroom has a big rain shower which feels luxurious. The staff was nice and efficient. The lobby looks cosy and a nice place to relax or read a book. Only the pillows where a bit thin for my liking but I stacked 2 pillows and it was fine.
Overall, great place for business trips or long stay.
The location of the hostel is ideal for those arriving via the train station.
The staff were very considerate of my late arrival and stayed till the last minute to assist me with check in.
In addition the breakfast was also a stand out. Although it stated to only include the basics there, they had enough variety to satisfy my needs (Coffee, water, juices, cereal, yogurts, etc.).
I liked that the location was quiet while still being close to the train station. The apartment was very spacious and beds were comfortable. Everything seemed clean to me. I also liked the common room with the kitchen so we could also prepare our own meals or socialize with other guests.
Near to the station of Leuven.
The room was quite large, bathroom as well. Attention to detail: bottle of drink water, toothbrush with toothpaste etc.
The buffet breakfast in Klimop Restaurant was exceptional.
We enjoyed our 1 night stay in this pretty city.
The hotel is perfectly situated near the train and bus stations, restaurants, a variety of shops and numerous historical and tourist type sights. The pricing is surprisingly low considering all parameters. Breakfast in the morning was amazing!
The hotel is ideally located by the train station and a short walk to the main stretch of shops and attractions in Leuven. The hotel room was a good size, had a good range of toiletries and a decent hairdryer which is always a bonus!
- location is perfect, right beside the train station
- this is a nicer Ibis Budget Hotel compared to other Ibis hotels
- we were able to leave our bags at the reception after we checked out.
Good price for the location next to the train station and the comprehensive breakfast plus a feeling of being in a honorable old hotel. The sink was blocked but this was resolved quickly.
A cosy, clean hotel, close to the Herent train station, easy to take train to Leuven and then Brussels Zaventem airport!
I arrived late and could not have dinner, nor I had breakfast
Simple hotel room with an excellent location closeby the train station. Staff was friendly. Breakfast suprised us very pleasantly with a good choice & decent quality.
